Why do only some leaves turn red in the fall? Scientists can't agree on an answer The red pigments in some fall leaves have proven to be a puzzle for researchers who debate why leaves bother to go red.

The mystery of why some trees turn red on fall is not solved! Nice to know scientists still have a lot of work to do and lots of questions bugging them.
Wikipedia has a nice article on autumn leaf colors too

More drought brings earlier autumn leaf fall, Northern Hemisphere study finds The progression of leaf coloring from green to the reds, oranges, and yellows of the fall season can be a spectacular sight to behold, but this process is also an important part of a plant's developme...
